Connie & Tony | Downtown Los Angeles Engagement Photography
Theirs is an absolutely wonderful engagement story with just the right amount of theatricality. Last June, Tony brought Connie to see Wicked, one of their favorite musicals up in San Francisco’s Orpheum Theater. After the show, he had arranged everything for a sly backstage tour, and just to complete things, he even had “the green witch”…

Inspiration | Pyramid Lake, Castaic, California
The drive down I-5 from San Francisco down to Los Angeles is extremely boring for four of the six hours. Flat lands, straight two-lane highway, and the only somewhat interesting thing is the occasional semi-truck obstacle course or the not-so-pleasant odors of the industrial-sized cow farms. It isn’t until around hour 5 that you hit the Grapevine and…

Behind the Scenes with Turtlist Media | Los Angeles, California
It’s incredibly inspiring to meet and work with people who are passionate and extremely good at what they do. I’ve spent this past week in Los Angeles shooting an engagement session and also helping Jason Lee of Turtlist Media with his film project– a short narrative film titled “Doughboy.” Here are some glimpses behind the…

TaiwaneseAmerican.org T-Shirts | San Francisco Portrait Photography
I meant to feature this a long time ago but kept saving it for another day. As some of you may know, in my “other” life, I am creative director and managing editor of TaiwaneseAmerican.org, which supports the Taiwanese American community. Back in August, we did some shoots for TaiwaneseAmerican.org‘s t-shirt line. We had our friends volunteer…

Canon 35mm/1.4 | Gingerbread Houses | Sausalito, California
It was a gorgeous but brisk day when we headed north over the Golden Gate Bridge and into Sausalito. I had with me the brand new shiny beautiful lens I had gifted myself, and I was ready to take it for a spin. Below are some of the first images I ever took with my…

Ice Waterfall in the Desert | Red Rock Canyon, Las Vegas, Nevada
We wove through the scenic drive, driving past the red rocks and stopping at the base of the trails. We didn’t see the albino sheep I was promised (and aren’t they already white?), but we did get to see an awesome icy waterfall that started as just a small stream atop the mountain and spilled…

Neon Museum | Las Vegas, Nevada
A week ago Mayline sent this to our inboxes: Who: Interested in design, typography, or vintage pieces of Americana? Love taking epic photos with unique, gigantic props? This looks like it will be right up your alley. What: The Neon Museum houses old neon signs from the Las Vegas strip, and the guided tour gives you details on when/how/why the signs…

Out in the Desert | Red Rock Canyon, Las Vegas, Nevada
Thank you so much to everyone for the birthday wishes. I apologize if my phone was off and I was unresponsive to Facebook posts, as was out in the desert for much of the day. A group of at least twenty of us took a brief trip out of Las Vegas to visit Red Rock…

All of the Lights | Las Vegas, Nevada
There are neon lights and sparkling lights and reflections of lights that crowd the strip. This must be America’s playground. Architects get to come and build things that aren’t reasonable or practical by any means, and it all fits right in. Here is a glimpse of where I am for the weekend. An amazing almost-penthouse…
